Note that the Red Bull X2010 5G is actually listed thrice. There does not seem to be any traces of Danica Patrick's NASCAR machine or the old name of black DeltaWing (Nissan DeltaWing '12, the final game after day one patch uses DeltaWing sponsored by Nissan at LeMans 2012 instead).

"XXXXXXX" refers to the teaser version of the Corvette C7 shown on GT5's demo mode. Also, the GT Academy March and Silvia, as well as the Interceptor, has some truncated text, so I added them.

The Top Gear Test Track is actually listed twice in the dump, the other possibly meaning the wet version used in a license test in GT5. GT5 course maker themes are mentioned, and a track calling itself "Route X", possibly a shorter version of Special Stage Route X. Piazza del Campo (which was removed completely from GT5, contrary to Polyphony Digital's announcement to appease the local people) is also mentioned.

Character editor

To activate the character editor, set FF8001 to 0A when in the test mode. Setting it during gameplay or attract mode can cause the game to lock up, black out, or throw ADDRESS ERROR/ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION messages, similar to the messages appearing in Mega Man: The Power Battle.

Setting the value to 06 when in test mode causes the game to lock up at the test menu's main mode. The other listed features are SCR2 and SCR3 BLOCK TEST, MESSAGE TEST, ATACK CHECK EX, and SCROLL TEST. They probably would have worked similarly to the ones in X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Setting any of these values during the first attract scene (Ken in foreground, Ryu in background) will cause the game to restart the attract sequence from the Capcom logo; setting it to 00 during attract mode causes the attract loop to restart to QSound logo.

Controls

• 1P LP animates the character
• 1P MP resets to first frame
• 1P HP changes character/TBLMODE (with up/down) and palette (with back/forward)
• 1P LK advances a frame
• 1P MP flips (use up, down, back, forward)
• 1P Up and down changes animation type (standing, rolling, etc)
• 2P Start changes mode (default is 1Player Only; 1P & 2P, 1P & 2P NAGE, which adds Nagerare address [thrown status] and Effect)
• When not in 1P & 2P or Effect, P2 up, down, back, forward acts as cursor.

Do not press 1P Start and 2P Start simultaneously! It will send you to the main menu, which will crash the game. Also, do not operate the cursor during Effect mode; it will result in an ADDRESS ERROR debug screen.

Modes:

• CODE PTR: Code pattern - defines where the currently displayed sprite is stored in the ROM.
• TBLMODE: Table mode - determines whether the sprite is for character stance (CHAR), attacking (ATCK), or being hit (DAM).
• PL TYPE: Player type - the character ID of the currently displayed sprite. The IDs:

Hex	Character
00	Ryu
01	Ken
02	Akuma/Gouki
03	Charlie Nash
04	Chun-Li
05	Adon
06	Sodom
07	Guy
08	Birdie
09	Rose
0A	Dictator
0B	Sagat
0C	Dan

• CHR COUNT - hexadecimal count of the currently displayed sprite.

Regional changes and everything else

• Alpha/Zero (names)
• Charlie/Nash and Akuma/Gouki (do we have to include Dictator too?)
• SF2 Anime Movie music in Japanese version if fighting in Dramatic Battle mode
• Error handlers - I've faced Address Error and Illegal Instruction (could not reproduce the later, but I was able to snap it), but are Privilege Violation/1111 Emulator errors used in SFA? What about other errors unused in MM:TPB?

These files are definitely unused; I need to have a good, free PCX to PNG converter. Web converters are inefficient for batch work (can't they just sent a zipped copy instead) and downloadable programs are all 30-day trials.

    • In pit menu during testing: Adds transitions to driver picture in the pit screen. There are three types of transitions.
    • In Offer Deal to Sponsors menu: Allows sponsor graphics to be tested by pressing the letters. Note this fills the e-mail inbox and the game will eventually prompt you to delete old ones (you are limited to 52 emails per inbox).
    • In News screen: Press A, D, or T to see three sets of all available news items, then click OK and return. Press C to restore the initial news.
  • There's also a hidden track editor, accessible by hex editing.
• 256 color checks, and disabling it (not notable for TCRF?)
• Error when the error message when attempting to select no or more than 4 teams: "In Grand Prix Manager 2, you must have at least 13 teams, and between 1 and 4 human players." (should be 10, 13 is from GPM1) (source)

• In the GCF (game configuration) file, there are references to unused parts: fuel injection, radiator, and skirt (implemented as driver aid instead). (Source - currently dead)
• Revision changes: Version 1.02b fixes a bug related to driver aids and (EMS/ECU causing retirements to occur more frequently.
• Related to GPM1 status bars in tracks, some tracks have visual differences in TRACK*.PCX vs TRACK*A.PCX (AI line definer) versions.

1967 Chevrolet Impala Enduro Double Down Quotes

(TODO: check if it's still in game code. Definitely there's also versions for other languages as well.)

Welcome to the School of Street Smarts. Lesson 1: Don't lose!
Nice start, but Lesson 2 is: Don't slow down!
And finally, Lesson 3: Always expect the unexpected.
Time to put what you've learned to the test against the Chevy Impala.
You get the hang of street racing yet?
Hm, I think you're learning, but practice makes perfect.
Don't get cocky. There's another big challenge just over the horizon.
It's time for the Chevrolet Impala Ghost Challenge: Round 2!
Time to take you off easy street!
You get it in gear yet? Then show me!
You're in about... second gear now. Let's see you at full speed!
Your engine's roaring, but you're not quite fast enough! Come on!
Well, the Impala is waiting. You better be up to speed!
Nice going, road warrior. But these streets just keep getting meaner.
You're being too nice out there. Show me your street rage!
Nice! I felt the anger out there. But don't cool down yet.
Is your blood pumping? Because your next big challenge is after this.
Don't hold back! Show the Chevrolet Impala your racing spirit!
Congrats on making it here. But there's still a long road ahead.
Be careful; a lot of racers lose their way on these streets...
The problem with being first is, you have nobody to follow...
You're getting close to the goal. But you gotta keep your cool!
All right, hotshot. Beat this and face your next real challenge!
This opponent knows these streets better than anyone. You ready?
Oh, a fresh pup finally made it this far! Let's see how you run.
Good start, but can you keep up with the rest of the pack?
Well, well, this pup has claws! Now I wanna see your bite!
I still think you're all bark. Come on and get back out there!
That wasn't just your engine roaring. You're almost ready for the boss.
Time to prove you're the Alpha Dog against the Chevrolet Impala!
I've heard of you. But I really just wanna see what you can do.
Hm, the rumors are true. You just might have what it takes!
Keep up this pace and we'll have to name a street after you.
Look out; road bump ahead! Don't let it stall your style!
Whew! You just keep on cruisin', don't ya? Just a little more to go!
Honestly, I'm puttin' my money on you against the Impala. Good luck!
You're near the top... but I promise it's gonna be all downhill from here.
You don't like to lose, do you? Neither do my street racers.
Getting tired yet? Because we've still got more surprises in store!
Come on, just give up already! You're not getting past this one!
I've had it with your luck. This round we're giving it our all!
Even if you beat us here, there's no way you're gonna beat the boss.
This is it: You versus the Chevrolet Impala. Your luck ends here!
Welcome to the fast lane! No time to talk... just GO!
These streets are as unforgiving as our street racers.
Better not flinch! At this speed, you'll probably miss a turn.
Keeping up? Good! Time for us to kick it into high gear!
You're almost there! Just don't lose sight of the finish line.
Almost done? Man, time flies when you're flying this fast!
This is IT! Time to race the Chevy Impala for all the marbles!

Pre-race quotes for the Enduro Double Down event for the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, added during the Championship Update (December 2016). The event was quietly cancelled, replaced with another event of same type for another car (Aston Martin One-77), and the Impala, originally an Class A car, was nerfed to a Class D car in the next update.

(Source: Asphalt Wikia)

Villain Wheels

Version 3.3.0 (Munich Update, October 2017) added a car, Villain Wheels, used and accessible only in a cross-promotion time-limited event races, promoting Despicable Me 3 (the car originated from the movie, and Gameloft has a game based on the movie, Despicable Me: Minion Rush). The car, a Class D car with high ranking, was used only for the events and not purchasable in the garage. The car has a stock performance rating of 848, MAX rating of 1252 (this configuration was used during the events) and MAX PRO (fully tuned) rating of 1505. As the car is an open-cockpit vehicle, it featured a modeled driver when being raced, similar to McLaren Formula One cars, using the driver model of McLaren M14A. As the car was otherwise inaccessible outside the event, the car has a similar fate to GT Academy-only cars used in Gran Turismo 5 and 6.

Curiously, however, "Villain Wheels" is listed in manufacturers that start with "D" instead of "V". Considering the order the manufacturer is stored, it is possible that the internal manufacturer name is DreamWorks, the studio that produced the Despicable Me film series. In addition, the events featuring the car were held on tracks without barrel roll ramps.

Asphalt Nitro (J2ME)

(I don't know if this fact is notable for the wiki or not.)

Asphalt 6: Adrenaline Leftover

If the game is run from an J2ME emulator, the game creates two files in the rms folder of the J2ME emulator called A6_v2.idx and A6_v2_1.rms, in a folder named .A6_v2. This gives a obivious indication that the game was modified from the J2ME version of Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, with some mechanic changes from Asphalt 8: Airborne and the Android version of Asphalt Nitro, such as ramp jumps/barrel rolls.

Side by Side Special

Most information here are based on Fatalita's videos. I don't have SBSS ISO, only SBSS2K.

Unused Things

• There are English track name graphics, complete with increased size boxes to fit them.

• Some unused text string, all mentioning car names, many of them different from featured in-game. Note the blatantly obvious Initial D reference in AE86 entry in both versions (this game has manufacturer licenses but not the manga license; Ask Kondansha's Initial D game was the opposite), in addition to different specifications of the cars mentioned in-game:

WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It

Unused Voices

Due to time constraints, some wrestlers have to be left off the game, leaving only their voice calls and unlockable movesets. However, as it turns out, there are several more voice calls that cannot be selected from Nick Name list in the Biography section of Create A Superstar. The voice calls below refer for Tazz and Michael Cole's commentary calls, unless otherwise stated.

Name	Reason
Kevin Kelly	Unknown, possibly because he was not a wrestler.
Tiger Ali Singh	Sent back to developmental during development.
Grand Master Sexay	Fired from WWF during development.
Scotty 2 Hotty	Injured for most of 2001. Might also related to Sexay's firing.
Chyna	Left WWF during development on very bad terms.
Mark Henry	Injured and took a long hiatus during development. Only unused name-only superstar to also have Howard Finkel announcement voice.
Gangrel	Left WWF during development; also trademark issues with White Wolf.
Paul Bearer	Removed from television during development.
Pat Patterson	Removed from television as the Stooges were no longer required on-screen.
Gerald Brisco	Removed from television as the Stooges were no longer required on-screen.
Pete Gas	Sent back to developmental during development.
Joey Abs	Sent back to developmental during development.
Rodney	Sent back to developmental during development.
Chaz	Left WWF during development.

In Howard Finkel's files, there are also references to Ivory's status as representative of the Right to Censor stable. Curiously enough, Fred Durst is only mentioned by name by Finkel; Cole and Tazz refers Durst as simply "superstar".
